[OT] What's an iPad?

[Jerry Daniels]

IPad rocks. Developing for it. Definitely in all our futures. IS a new model of enjoying and working with data in all forms.

16GB model. Surprisingly NOT a large iPhone. 

Best,

Jerry Daniels

I think it will change the way people casually use technology and is a big step forward in consumer electronics.  After using it for the last day, I think it is a good value as well.  It can replace a net book, kindle, and a hand-held game system as well as being a media system for photos, video and music.  Much more fun than I expected and I would suspect it will be a widely copied model over the next years by other companies.
